New Delhi, July 31 — The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved four major railway multitracking projects worth approximately ₹11,169 crore, aimed at enhancing rail connectivity and infrastructure across 13 districts in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, and Jharkhand.

These projects will add about 574 kilometers to the existing Indian Railways network and are targeted for completion by 2028–29. The construction phase is expected to generate nearly 2.29 crore human-days of direct employment.

The approved projects include:

Itarsi–Nagpur 4th Line

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar –Parbhani Doubling

Aluabari Road–New Jalpaiguri 3rd and 4th Line

Dangoaposi–Jaroli 3rd and 4th Line

These capacity augmentation works are vital for boosting freight movement, especially for commodities like coal, cement, fly ash, containers, agriculture goods, and petroleum products. The enhanced infrastructure is expected to handle an additional 95.91 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of freight traffic.

The projects will benefit over 2,309 villages with a combined population of approximately 43.6 lakh, improving mobility, regional development, and self-employment opportunities.

Aligned with the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, the projects aim to strengthen multi-modal connectivity and logistics efficiency. They are also expected to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions by 515 crore kilograms, saving 16 crore litres of oil imports—equivalent to planting 20 crore trees—thus contributing to India’s climate and sustainability goals.
